A WORD OF WARNING.
The Fearful Dangers of the Present
Season and How TO Avoid
Them in Time.


Mr.. Wilton r. Palmer. of New York city,
received the best wishes of the season from
all the friends he met on his birthday, and be-
lieved that his future life was to be long and
joyous, That evening he felt a tickling in the
throat, a slight pain across the chest, and he
coughed once or twice. The next day his
nostrils were infiamed, his throat sore ana his
lungs all filled up. The day following he was
in bed, with physicians shaking their heads,
and the third day he was dead from pneumo-
mia, which he failed to take in time. There
are ten thousand men and women IN America
to-day in just the same condition as Mr..
Palmer was. Their Threats are sore, their
lungs are irritated, and they are on the verge
of pneumonia and death, but they do not
knowlt
This terrible disease, pneumonia, has be-
come the Monster of American life. It is
sudden, severe and fatal. 1t comes without
warning and strikes down without mercy.
Physicians say it must be thrown from the
system on the start, and that there is nothing
equal to pure spirits for this purpose. Pure
liquors are absolutely necessary when pneu-
monia is coming on, and from the careful IN
vestigations of the best chemists and phys-
clans we are convinced that no liquor now
known TO the world is equal TO Duffy's Pure
Malt Whlskey for pneumonia or any other
pumonic trouble. This whiskey is put up
solely for medical purposes. and sold only in
sealed bottles. 1t is q stimulant to the organs
that have been congested by cold. 1t arouses
the tissues to fresh action. Ii wards of dis
ease, and containing no fusel oil, it does not
injure nor intoXicate.
Mr.. f. w. Roswell, of Washington, ID. c.,
related his experience as follows: 81 had
hemorrhages and was examined by physi-
clan who thought my lungs only slightly con-
gested. In August / had three more hemor
rhages and lost quart of blood. Another
physician said was in the last stages of con-
sumption. ana finally gave up all hope.
obtained DufIy's Pure Malt Whiskey and took
it. l have gained health and strength rap
idly. and am completely restored"
This remarkable whiskey, which IS sold by
all tirst-class druggists land the secret of
whose manufacture many have in vain
sought to find OUT. deserves to be kept in
every household. not only to be used in cases
of emergency, but TO assist in prolonging life
and bringing health and happiness.

FARM AND STOCK NOTES.

Sheep are very fond of the sweet sap of
the maple, and will drink Of it so that it
will weaken and injure them. If ewes
with lamb are allowed access TO SUGAR
orchards while the sap is being gathered
it will often cause them to abort. The
danger is not very common now, but this
fact, which early settlers in maple dis
trlcts learned by costly experience, may
be OF value to some of their successors,
There is usually great waste in feeding
soft corn. by which is included the nub-
bins having more or less sound grain on
them. IL thrown TO hogs, as is usually
done, the nutriment in the cob is lost and
there is good deal Of il where the corn
Is not fully matured. Ii put up in mar
row bins, made with Stats so that air can
circulate through them, they will soon
dry out. Cows will eat them, cobs and
all.
The great profits from sheep cannot be
made by farmers who do everything in
tie grand wholesale way. No animal re.
quires better care and closer attention
than the sheep. Even with these it Is
difficult to keep large numbers together
and have them do well. The small farmer
can keep few, give them the best care.
and by growing and selling early lambs
make more money per head than the large
sheep grower can with his extensive
fiocks.
1t is said that beer drinking has largely
superseded the use of cider as beverage,
not alone in cities and villages, but even
among farmers. III we do not nave cicer
it will be difficult to get the pure cider
vinegar, which has long been recognized
as the best. The refuse from beer kegs
with sulphurlc acid, sugar and other
chemicals is what is relied upon to fur
nish the greater part OF the vinegar sold
nowadays. AS n result many old apple
orchards are being cut down or grubbed
out.
When a spider is preparing TO mott It
atops eating for several DAYS and fastens
itself by a short line OF web to one of the
main lines of its snare, which holds it
firmly while il proceeds to undress. The
skin cracks all around the thorax and is
held only by the front edges. Next the
abdomen is uncovered. Now comes the
struggle TO free the legs; IL works and
kicks vigorously, and seems TO have very
hard work. But continued perseverance
OF about fifteen minutes brings IL out of
the old dress, and IL seems almost llfeless,
and il limp and helpless for several min
utes, but gradually comes back 10 life and
looks brighter and prettier than before.
DandelIons are grown without heat in
January and February, but mats and
shuttles are used the same as for lettuce.
In March they will grow with grass alone
and are commonly grown IN what Ia called
a double string" A bed is sown the
preceding spring IL feet wide and as long
as wanted. In the fall planks are set on
each side OF tho bed the entire length. In
February middle plank lie placed fat
upon blocks lengthwise through the bed
and high enough TO give pitch to the
glass, which is spread over the dande-
lions and which slopes both ways from
the middle plank 20 the outside ones.

Value OF Tobacco stems.

d. 4. Rice, Of Jackson county, o.. I'm a
letter to Orchard and Garden, exhibits a
rather pardonable curiosity concerning
the fertilizing value OF tobacco stems
when applied to fruit trees, grapeyines
and general garden crops. Undoubtedly
many OF our readers would also like to
learn how much they can afford to paw for
lOo pounds of this not unimportant fer
tilizing material, so we gladly do the ne.
cessary Figuring"
An average sample of tobacco stems,
according to American analysis, contains
I'o per cent. nitrogen,
90 potash,
.30 - phosphorio acid,
oesloes lime, magnesia, sulphurio acid
and other ingredients. The schedule of
trade values adopted by the experiment
stations OF Connecticut, Massachusetts
and New Jersey puts the value of nitro
gen at 1871 cents, potash Gas high grade
sulphate) at 81 cents, and phosphoric
acid at cents per pound; hence the
money value of 100 pounds of tobacco
stems for manurial purposes NAV be COM
puted as follows:
nitrogen. .......... i 3 lbs. at le16e.-8G 3-lOc
Rotash ........" 500 los. at 513c,-2S g. loo
Fnos' acld.......... so lbs. at &c.
o'''i ..'...sss. IS 4 l0c,
The small quantities of lime, magnesia.
sulphuric acid, ETC., are not yet consid-
cred In this amount; hence the true chem
zeal value of tobacco stems will be close
to, II not fully 70 cents per 100 pounds.
Compared with the price of other COM
mercial fertilizers. of course they have a
still higher value (their agricultural
value and the fruit grower and gardener
can well afford to pay 50 cents and per-
haps upward for each 100 pounds.
1t should be added, however, that to-
oacco stems must beperfectly dry to have
this value; and that their effects will gen
orally be slower and more lasting than
those OF chemical mauures.
In order to hasten the effect of tobacco
stems, we would compost them with sta
bic manure. frequently forking the whole
mass over and keeping it in heat by the
liberal application of liquid manure, until
thoroughly decomposed.

1t requires four to six bushels of pota-
toes to properly plant an acre, and this
amount should be got out from the bin

the tubers will not be too warm and where
they can be spread thiniy and exposed to
air and light. The object is to have their

In bins in warm cellars will sprout so as
to exhaust nearly all the vitality the germ

which should go TO the young plant. In
such cases failure in potato growing is
almost certain.
few seed potatoes well cared for will
give greater profit than a large acreage
planted with the defective seed that ia
usually common at planting time. If seed
potatoes have been kept from sprouting
by exposure to the light, and being kept
at temperature only little above freez-
ing, they may be cut smaller, and thus
the seed be made to go further. But let
no one assume from this that planting
whole potatoes which have been badly
sprouted will prove successful. They will
only produce multitude of weakly.
